Can I seek divorce due to my husband's psychological issues and alcohol?

I seek a divorce from my husband due to his psychological issues, excessive alcohol consumption, and significant weight (200 kg), which contribute to an unhealthy relationship. I am unhappy in this marriage and wish to proceed with legal separation.

You may file a petition under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on the grounds of cruelty and obtain a divorce from your husband if he suffers from psychological problems, drinks too much alcohol, and it is unhealthy to stay with him. Document instances of his behavior that bring you unhappiness. If you want separation immediately, you might consider applying under Section 10 for judicial separation. You stay lawfully married and live apart. During this separation period, make sure you engage a lawyer to help you through the legal processes during this period.
